"The Bird is Freed" Elon Musk Tweets as He Takes Over Twitter | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

"The bird is freed," tweets the new CEO of Twitter, on the heels of his $44 billion takeover of the tech platform. Elon Musk, who is also the owner of Tesla and Space X, calls himself a "free speech absolutist." He is already purging the company's top executives with the pledge the fire more and roll back clampdowns on content. Director of Policy and Government Affairs at the American Principles Project, Jon Schweppe, joins to share the latest as Musk is wasting no time, firing top executives and more layoffs planned. Some call Musk's Twitter takeover a "fighting chance for free speech." Schweppe discusses how confident he is that this will be the case. Some big advertisers say they plan to boycott Twitter following the takeover or if Musk reinstates former President Trump's account. Among them is General Motors. Schweppe tells us his reaction. He also fills us in on his list of priorities for Musk and what else he is following. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
